Episode 16: Snack Tasting with Stereo Confidential (Chris, James, and Mike)

HELLO HELLO and welcome back to The Heavy Snacking Podcast! I’m back from the break with a nice and juicy episode with the folks from Stereo Confidential (formerly Modern Vinyl). I talked to Chris, James and Mike about the formation of the podcast, ending the Modern Vinyl website, and charting a new course with their show Stereo Confidential. We also tasted some snacks and drinks while we got to know the boys better! They talked about all the new projects their working on including a Modern Vinyl Newsletter, new music from Mike’s band and James on going involvement in many facets of the music industry. Apologies for the weird intro, I had to record on the road in Philadelphia. Also, we found out that Chris has never burped, which is super trippy (and they did change their twitter tag- it’s now @stereopod )  “We’re snacking on ya!”  https://www.stereoconfidential.com/ https://www.patreon.com/stereoconfidential https://www.facebook.com/nobodybutyoumusic (Mike) https://weirdupstairs.substack.com/ (James) The Heavy Snacking Podcast is an interview podcast where we talk to people in the music community about their musical history, traveling, regional cuisine, and of course, SNAX!

Eyyy, how you doin’? I’m back this week with Matteo DeBenedetti from the New Jersey band Toy Cars! Following up on his cameo in the Retirement Party episode, I called up Matty D and got the scoop on Jersey pizza and heard a passionate defense in the case of Sheetz vs. Wawa!   We traced his musical history from ska and folk punk, to the anthemic heartland emo on Toy Car’s latest full length “Paint Brain”, as well as regrouping and gearing up for new stuff in 2019.

Episode 10: Snack Tasting with Kyle & Ellie (The E Word Podcast)

Welcome to Episode 10! For this special occasion I’m having our first roundtable snack tasting with Kyle and Ellie from The E Word Podcast! We all bought some snacks and drinks so we could sit down and taste some stuff referenced on past episodes! It’s much different than a normal episode of the podcast but we do touch on tons of food and music like Kali (with a K) bands, emo, and various sub-genres of hardcore. Warning: it’s a long one y'all! We also got multiple instances of us singing, hot takes on music and food, anti-capitalist rants, emo internet drama and of course some podcast shop-talk. We tried a bunch of different snacks and drinks including Yerba Mate Guyuaki, Topo Chico, Doritos, Kettle Chips, Cheez-its and Airheads. Plus we sprinkled in some food talk about sparkling drinks, grocery stores, Sauce, toasted bread and gas stations. AND SO MUCH YERB! http://www.podcasts.com/the-e-word-d4d440386 https://twitter.com/theewordpodcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-e-word/id1313661034?mt=2 Post Show Notes: Better Yet Podcast is back!
